This music similarity search is stunning. Only works for electronic music, but thanks to it I've discovered literally a dozen new artists in the last five minutes. Amazing. It's by deejay.tools, the author of the (similarly amazing) Batchcamp.

This is a great example of how quantum computers are in their infancy.

If we erroneously think of quantum computers as just immensely powerful classical computers, surely they would run games at enormous resolution almost indistinguishable from reality.

But that's not the case. They're so radically different from classical computers that our current software for them and their associated theory is comparable to classical computers of the late 1970s.

They're going to change the world, especially in terms of cryptography. But they're not going to do it for quite a while yet.

Lost Media

Does anyone remember a comedy about goths, in which they paint the whole room black and then can't find the door? I thought it was The Comic Strip Presents but it seems that's not right (could be wrong though).

AI to the rescue

Finding Gemini Code Assist really helpful recently.

I'm writing some Python (to read Mullvad configs and spit out Mikrotik scripts) and it's been a while.

It's dead helpful to have it jump in for small-scope operations that I can't remember the idiomatic Python for.

I have bought too many keyboards

In an absolute "classiest moment of my life" yet again, I fell asleep at my desk last night, drooled on my keyboard, and now all the keys are gunged up.

Good news: I have a spare!

Bad news: my spare has a French layout for some reason!

Back to Amazon it is...

Fidget Spinner

I'm not big on modular synthesisers (but give it time, I'm sure when I have disposable income the interest will magically appear) but the fidget spinner is a thing of absolute beauty.

The mind that decided to put a fidget spinner on top of guitar pickups and add CV i/o.

Genius.
